Elf Bar Mate 500 Review: The Ultimate Rechargeable Elf Bar?

Elf Bar Mate 500 Review

Elf Bar has become a vaping giant, renowned for its user-friendly and sleek vapes that provide a great vaping experience and a viable alternative to smoking. The Elf Bar Mate 500 is a disposable pod kit which combines Elf Bars' gorgeous fruity flavours from the original Elf Bar pods, such as Kiwi Passionfruit Guava, with a simple reusable pod kit. The Elf Mate 500 vape kit is the first of its kind by Elf Bar, which is more environmentally friendly than disposables, which makes them highly desirable for new vapers.

We will dive deeper into the Elf Mate 500 disposable pod system, from its features and functionality, design, performance, and the fantastic flavours the Elf Bar Mate range offers.

Elf Bar Mate 500 Features

The ElfBar mate 500 pod kit is a great starter kit, a lightweight and compact device and a little different to the Elf Bar disposable vape kits. The Elf Bar 500 device comes pre-filled with 2ml of your favourite e-liquid.

The Elf Bar P1 pods are pre-filled pods sold separately to the device and come in various flavours similar to the disposable Elf Bars. The Elf Bar Mate 500 pod is designed to be thrown away when the pod runs out and replaced with a new pod.

The vape juice used in the prefilled Elf Bar Mate 500 pods is nicotine salt e-liquid, which contains 20mg of nicotine. Nic salts are also used in disposable vapes, giving you that smooth hit at higher nicotine concentrations.

The Elf Bar Mate is a rechargeable battery device. This rechargeable Elf Bar can be recharged using a USB Type C charger and has an inbuilt battery of 500mAh. This is one of the significant differences between the Elf Bar Mate pod kit and the Elf Bar disposable vapes. The disposable vapes cannot be recharged, making the Elf Bar Mate 500 great for vapers on the road and reducing environmental impact.

The Elf Bar Mate 500 has no physical buttons. It features inhale activation, which makes the ElfBar mate 500 a low-maintenance and hassle-free kit.

• Soda
• Candy
• Tobacco

Our favourite flavours include Pink Lemonade, Blue Razz Lemonade, Kiwi Passion Fruit Guava, Cola, Energy, Watermelon, Blueberry Raspberry, Strawberry and Grape.

Each Elf Bar Mate 500 pod features a unique dual coil system, which ensures the rich flavour stays consistent throughout the vape and provides a longer coil lifespan. The Elf Bar P1 pods can deliver approximately 600 puffs.

Elf Bar Mate 500 - How To Use

The Elf Bar Mate 500 is one of the easiest vape kits in the e-cigarette market today. Following on from disposable vapes, this device is a compact, light, easy to use and eco-friendly way of vaping.

The Elf Bar Mate 500 pod kit comes partially charged; therefore, there is no need to charge the entire device when you unpackaged it. When it comes to attaching the Elf Bar P1 pods, first push the button on the bottom of the pod to activate it. Let it sit for a few minutes to prime the coil.

the P1 pods contain a magnetic connection, which makes them easy to remove and apply to the main battery device. Once the Elf Bar P1 pod is secure, simply inhale on the mouthpiece to start vaping. Compared to disposable vape devices, the Elf Bar Mate 500 pre-filled pods have a window in which you can see how much e-liquid you have remaining. Once you receive a dry hit or the e-liquid has run out, simply replace the pod with a fresh new flavour.

Can You Recycle Pre-Filled P1 Elf Mate Pods?

Unfortunately, you cannot recycle the Elf Bar Mate P1 pods. These pods contain mixed materials and chemicals from the e-liquid, so they must be thrown in the general waste bin. Although this isn't eco-friendly, The Elf Bar Mate 500 vape kit is a much more environmental way of vaping compared to disposable vapes, in which you throw the entire device, including the battery.

Final Verdict

The Elf Bar 500 is a cheaper and more eco-friendly way of vaping when compared to the original Elf Bar disposable vapes.
